IGLOO Showcase VARIANT 1.6 70 L Refrigerated Display Case

A refrigerated display case keeps chilled goods visible and accessible while maintaining a steady low temperature. A compressor circulates refrigerant through an evaporator coil inside the unit. Air drawn over the coil cools and is then pushed by fans across the shelves, creating an even airflow that prevents warm spots. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and carries it to the condenser at the back or beneath the case, where it is released outside. This continuous cycle holds the interior between +1 °C and +10 °C, preserving freshness without freezing. The operator loads the shelves with prepared food, pastries or drinks, then sets the electronic regulator to the desired temperature. The digital display shows the current reading. Once plugged in, the case starts automatically; the compressor and fans run as needed to keep the set point. An out-of-cycle defrost programme melts any frost on the coil without interrupting service, and the resulting water evaporates automatically. If the condenser becomes clogged, a sound signal alerts the operator. At closing time, a night blind can be drawn across the front to reduce energy use while keeping the interior cold. The case is built on a powder-coated steel frame with an outer casing and side panels finished in the same durable coating. Inside, the display area is also powder-coated for easy cleaning. Adjustable wire shelves let the operator organise products of different heights. LED lighting along the top edge illuminates the shelves evenly, using less power than traditional bulbs. The insulation is ecological polyurethane foam, which reduces heat transfer and keeps the compressor from overworking. EC fans further cut energy consumption by running only as fast as needed. A 1.634 kW power rating indicates the load the unit places on the electrical circuit; it requires a dedicated 230 V, 50 Hz supply. The footprint of 1670 mm wide, 720 mm deep and 1990 mm high determines the floor space it occupies and the aisle width needed for access. The 70 L volume refers to the usable display area, not the total internal space. The temperature range of +1 °C to +10 °C suits fresh dairy, deli meats, salads and desserts that must stay chilled but not frozen. The smooth, powder-coated finish resists fingerprints and smudges, so the case stays spotless with a quick wipe-down after the morning bakery delivery. The shelves can be removed for thorough washing. The condenser should be checked regularly and cleaned if the sound signal sounds. The LED lighting does not require replacement bulbs, and the automatic defrost and condensation systems eliminate manual draining. The Showcase VARIANT 1.6 is available with sliding doors, hinged doors or a night blind. The model described here is the 70 L version; other sizes are offered in the same series. This product is listed in the refrigeration section of the professional catering equipment catalogue, under display cases.
